The key to the game, and an Atlanta Falcons victory over the Green Bay, is containing Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
That’s was the consensus of Falcons fans Munir Taherbhai, his uncle Tahir Taherbhai and Mark Bittick, who found a prime table at the Dunwoody Tavern in the northern DeKalb County city.
Just before kickoff, the three offered their predictions of a close game, but ultimately a Falcons win and a trip to the Super Bowl in two weeks.
“The Falcons will pull it out, no doubt,” Bittick said. “But the defense has to find a way to pressure the quarterback.”
Tahir Taherbhai said he wants to see Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan continue his MVP season.
“I’m just hoping Ryan has a phenomenal day and Rogers has a lousy day,” he said.
Dunwoody Tavern, a popular watering hole in this northern suburb, will often have a mix of fans for plenty of NFL teams. But this Sunday, the bar is jammed with Falcons fans.
